2. Special Ed:

WPS dropped from Level 1 to a Level 2 school, ...

and the official WPS position is to blame it on minorities and special education students.  As a consequence, the school is not looking at the curriculum the kids missed and assessing the schools' need to close the content gap.  Meanwhile, the school’s special education litigation costs doubled from 2015-2016 years. We need to stop fighting our kid’s uniqueness and start inventing ways they can create and sustain their own support systems to enable them to flourish.  See http://wellesley.wickedlocal.com/news/20161013/wellesley-school-officials-address-mcas-scores.
